The TOXI-triage project was presented to the Community of Users on Safe, Secure and Resilient societies. This is the second time that project is introduced to the CoU members, the first one was at the 5th meeting in October 2016.

In that occasion a general overview of the project objectives and activities was advanced. In this 9th meeting the project presentation focused on:

Michael Eddleston, from the University of Edimburg, presented TOXI-triage to about 45 clinicians and specialists in poison information who work in UK.
The meeting was organised by the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS), in Newcastle upon Tyne, on 5-6 October 2017.

What is the triage process and how does it change in the case of a CBRN event? How to behave in the hot zone? What is needed to get a full operational picture as a first responder ambulance crew or firefighter in full protective gear? How can this be enhanced by TOXI-triage technology? These are some of the issues which will be addressed.

Ambition 2017 will provide professionals from Government departments, the NHS, councils, local resilience forums, ambulance trusts, fire and police organisations and specialist agencies with the unique opportunity to meet, network and debate the latest challenges facing the EPRR community today.

TOXI-triage had its own booth, stand number: 2B51, sponsored by some of our commercial partners.

TOXI-triage partners participated at a workshop on standardisation needs and opportunities organised in the framework of the H2020 ResiStand project. The event took place at the CEN/CENELEC (EU standardisation body) in Brussels. The audience comprised of end-users/practitioners, academics/research organization as well as SMEs/industrial partners.
